Universal naming service

The UANP is a protocol that defines how to interact with the WWC naming service. Similar to HTTP, UANP is text-based and defines methods that allow actors' names lookup, updates, and deletions. UANP operates over TCP connections, usually the port 3030. This port can be overwritten by another port number.

Every theater maintains a local registry where actors' locations are cached for faster future access. One can start a naming service as follows:

java -cp salsa<version>.jar:. wwc.naming.WWCNamingServer

The above command starts a naming service on the default port 3030. You can specify another port as follows:

java -cp salsa<version>.jar:. wwc.naming.WWCNamingServer -p 1256
